This morning, we were excited to host the Leadership Education & Academic Preparation workshop with colleagues from the University of Toronto. Twenty of our Pre-University students had a chance to engage in hands-on leadership development, explore personal values, build transferable skills, and enhance their problem-solving abilities to prepare for and transition to post-secondary life.
Leadership Education & Academic Preparation (LEAP) is a series of workshops facilitated by the International Programs, University of Toronto staff. The workshops foster leadership skills, critical thinking, thoughtful discussion, and academic preparation for high-achieving and goal-oriented high school students as they prepare to transition into post-secondary education. With a transferable skillset in mind, students build on what it takes to be leaders in and out of the class, learn how interpersonal skills are essential in an academic setting, and understand why varied viewpoints on a topic are fundamental for academic and worldly success.
